Geranium renardii 'Philippe Vapelle' needs plenty of sun and permeable, well-drained, and rather poor soil. As a mountain plant originating from the Caucasus, it will thrive best in a hot, sunny spot. Prepare a bed where the soil is more loamy or sandy, but above all, very well-drained so that water does not pool at the roots. Since you will receive a mature plant in a pot from us, you can plant it directly into its permanent location. When planting, maintain a spacing of around 35 centimeters, which corresponds to roughly seven to nine plants per square meter. This space ensures sufficient air circulation and allows the seedlings to gradually form a dense and healthy carpet.
During the growing season, caring for this geranium is absolutely undemanding. The plant prefers drier conditions, so after initial rooting, it requires watering only during extremely long periods of drought. Overwatering can, conversely, harm it. Fertilizing is not necessary because it grows in nutrient-poor conditions in nature. Adding strong fertilizers could lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of the blue-violet flowers. If you decide to grow this geranium in a container or window box, follow these rules:
Maintenance of this long-lived perennial will please anyone looking for a beautiful plant without unnecessary worries. The geranium grows to a height of thirty to forty centimeters and forms firm clumps, so it requires no support. After flowering in June and July, you can remove the spent stems, which will support overall vitality and keep the bed tidy. The gray-green leaves with a fine suede texture do not fall off and offer a beautiful winter effect. The plant is fully frost-hardy down to -28 °C, so it requires no special winter protection. A great advantage is that this cultivar does not suffer from any diseases and is completely avoided by common garden pests.
